Literally Ch.2
"What on earth is going on?" asked Suzuno, pointing at the sky.
At the Sun Garden Orphanage, cats and dogs were also falling from the sky, scaring the children who were playing outside.
"How'd I know?!" grumbled Nagumo. He glanced at Hiroto, who was stuffing food into his mouth after a long night of work. "Geez, Gran. Are you THAT hungry?!"
Hiroto nodded. He bent down and continued stuffing his face with donuts, pancakes, waffles, and pretty much everything on the dining table.
"You eat like a pig, Hiroto!" Nagumo commented.
There was a bright flash of light where Hiroto had been. "Oink!" In Hiroto's place, a red pig with jade eyes stood there.
Suzuno's eyes widened. "What did you do to Hiroto?"
Nagumo shrugged. "I just said that he ate like a pig."
"Hiroto!" came a voice from the hallway. "I've finished typing out those documents. Come and check them!" When no one answered, Midorikawa poked his head out of the room. "Holy—" Midorikawa stopped himself. "What happened? Is that pig Hiroto?!"
"Well," Nagumo scratched his head bashfully. "Yeah."
"Seriously?" Midorikawa shook his head. "Oh, and BTW, your computer broke down."
Nagumo snorted. "Yeah, right. When pigs grow wings and fly!"
Midorikawa brought out Nagumo's computer. Its wires were disconnected, and the screen was fuzzy with static.
Bang! Hiroto-the-pig grew wings and flew up, crashing his-its head on the ceiling.
Midorikawa stared at the flying pig. But then, he flashed a triumphant smirk at Burn. "Told ya, your computer's broken!"
Nagumo glared angrily. "Go to hell, Midorikawa!"
Midorikawa disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving an empty chair.
"What did you do again?!" demanded Suzuno. Nagumo shrugged again and went to fix his computer, cursing and swearing in the process.
…
…
"Huh?" Midorikawa stared at his surroundings. "Where am I?" He was in a room with black torches next to the door. Plush carpeting covered the floor. Antique furniture decorated the room. It would've been nice if there weren't grinning skulls hanging from hooks on the ceiling.
"What the— who are you?!" asked a boy with long maroon hair walked in. When he saw Midorikawa's face, he relaxed. "Oh, it's just you. You were one of Endou's teammates from ten years ago."
"How did you know that? And who are you? What is this place?" Midorikawa asked.
"I'm Sain. I know who you are because we played soccer together before. You're in Hell, in Deasta's room, and …" Sain suddenly trailed off. "You weren't anywhere near Lilcott Island just now, weren't you?! Humans can't just appear here."
Midorikawa frowned. He remembered Sain now; he was one of the angels of Tenkuu no Shito. "What did you mean, I'm in hell?"
Sain started pacing. "Did anyone say anything special to make you come here?"
Midorikawa thought hard. "Um, my friend Nagumo told me to go to hell, and here I am."
Sain looked alarmed. "You mean… You came here literally?"
"You could put it that way," replied Midorikawa.
"It means that the Sphere has escaped to Earth… Again." Sain glanced outside. "In that case, I and Deasta need to go and capture the Sphere before it causes any more chaos."
Suddenly, Deasta rushed in, nearly knocking over Sain.
"Watch it, Deasta!" Sain scowled as he brushed down his clothes.
"The Sphere's escaped!" Deasta panted.
Sain pointed to Midorikawa. "Evidently."
"We'll send this dude back," Deasta glared at Midorikawa, as if the whole escaped-sphere-thingy were Midorikawa's fault, "and get that stupid Sphere."
"For the first time in ten years, I agree with Deasta. As thick-headed as he is, he has a point." Sain said.
"Right! Hey, who're ya calling thick-headed?!" Deasta tried to grab Sain by his throat.
The angel calmly avoided Deasta. "Anyways. Back to business. Here." Sain handed Midorikawa a glass full of something that looked like grape juice. "Drink this, and you will return to where you were before you came here. Oh, and tell Endou that we will visit him."
With those words, Sain disappeared. Deasta grumbled something under his breath that sounded like, "Stupid angel." Then, he disappeared as well.
Midorikawa drank the 'juice'. He felt a warm tingling inside his body. With a flash, he disappeared, leaving the demon's room empty.
…
…
Nagumo was still fixing his computer when something appeared in front, scaring the daylights out of him. "What?!" exclaimed Nagumo, scurrying back.
"Don't freak out, Haruya, it's just me." Midorikawa glared at him.
"Quit glaring at me!" Nagumo glared back.
"Where did you just go?" asked Suzuno.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," replied Midorikawa.
"Try me," said Suzuno.
After Midorikawa had explained about the Sphere that was making everything happen literally, Suzuno and Nagumo shook their heads.
"So, that's why Hiroto turned into a pig." Nagumo said.
"Flying pig," corrected Suzuno.
"Whatever." Nagumo said, not paying attention. Suzuno growled.
"Oh, no." Before Suzuno and Nagumo could start fighting, Midorikawa had pulled them apart. "Stop it, guys."
"Stop what?" a new voice asked. The trio turned around, only to see Hiroto sitting on the floor, his glasses askew. "What just happened?"
"You're back," said Suzuno incredulously.
"Back from where?" asked Hiroto.
"You were a pig." Midorikawa stated.
"Huh?!" Hiroto looked baffled.
"Never mind." With that, Midorikawa handed Hiroto the pile of documents, and the Sun Garden Orphanage went back to normal. Or so the adults thought.
Humming softly, the purple sphere moved away, disappearing into the distance.
Suzuno: Piggy!
Hiroto: Hey! Stop it!
Read and review, please!
Nagumo: What did you do to my beloved computer?!
Fix it yourself!
Nagumo: Grr!
